Former WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade, now going by Elayna Black says joining OnlyFans allows her to take control of her body, career, and income.
In a recent interview on the Power Alphas podcast, hosted by Mandy Rose, Elayna Black made it clear that she’s confident in her decision and isn’t worried about the criticism. She also clarified that she’s not pressuring her fans to subscribe.
“I have this platform. I know I’m going to be fine financially more than fine, and that’s another thing. People have so much to say about that, and it’s like, that’s crazy, because I’ve never… You know what? You don’t have to. You don’t have to agree with it. That’s fine. I’m not asking you to subscribe.”
Black expressed appreciation for fans who supported her during her time in WWE but made it clear that she’s moving forward independently. “If you’re a WWE fan and you supported me in WWE, I 100% appreciate it and I’m so grateful for that. But guess what? I’m not with WWE anymore. I’m doing my own thing. If you want to follow me and continue following me on my journey, thank you, and I appreciate you.”
“But if it’s not your thing and you don’t want to, you don’t have to. I’m not with WWE. I’m not a WWE Superstar. I can do whatever I want, and if you choose to support me during that journey, thank you. But if you don’t, keep it pushing, because never once have I been so concerned with how someone else is making their money or what they’re doing with their life and their body. It’s like, you need to go outside if that’s the case.”
Mandy Rose backs Elayna Black (Cora Jade) OnlyFans decision
Mandy Rose supported Elayna Black’s decision, “You’re not asking people that don’t want to do something to do anything. It’s what you want to do. You control your body. And you made a good point, I think, on another podcast where it’s like, we put our bikini pictures all over the internet, or all over Instagram, everything, for free which is fine. Exactly, we could do whatever we want. But the second, all of a sudden, you want someone to pay.
Black pointed out that people get upset when free Instagram content moves behind a paywall. Rose acknowledged the stigma around platforms like OnlyFans but said it’s simply the direction the business is heading.
“Honestly, it’s just the future of this business. At the end of the day, OnlyFans has that stigma, and it’s fine. But there are so many other companies as well like exclusive content, whether it’s even Patreon or all these other platforms, Passes, whatever it is. It is what it is. It’s what the future is right now. And, you know, we built a personality and a brand. And it’s not just some wrestler that is out there chasing their dream.
“It’s people that want to stick around and see where you go, will subscribe and will follow you and will be there for you, and they want to see your next move. And that’s why I always say, I am so grateful for every single one of my fans, because our fans are amazing. Wrestling fans in general they are the most loyal fans there are, like with any sport. And it’s amazing.”
Elayna Black shuts down critics for her OnlyFans decision
“And I feel like the people who want to shit on my wrestling career because of the OnlyFans now it’s like, they’re two completely separate things. I’m going to continue to be a wrestler and do what I want in wrestling. I am just able to make this other income now that I wasn’t able to make before. So, if you’re a fan of me, if anything, you should be happy for me. And if you’re not a fan of me, then f**k off.”
